Store-and-Forward (SAF) Agents

There are two sides involved in the process of storing and forwarding
messages: a local sending side and a remote receiving endpoint. SAF agents
are responsible for store-and-forwarding messages between these local
sending and remote receiving endpoints. A SAF agent can be configured to
have only sending capabilities, receiving capabilities, or both.

This page summarizes the SAF agents that have been created for this
domain.

The type of service that this SAF agent provides. JMS requires
only a Sending agent on the sending side for messages. Whereas, Web
Services Reliable Messaging requires both a Sending and Receiving
agent for messages.

Sending-only

Configures an agent that stores messages in persistent storage,
forwards messages to the receiving side, and re-transmits messages
when acknowledgements do not come back in time.

Receiving-only

Configures an agent that detects and eliminates duplicate
messages sent by a receiving agent, and delivers messages to the
final destination.

Both

Configures an agent that has sending and receiving agent
functionality.
